Armed conflict: Business on all fronts!
Participate
As part of our partnership with the Croix-Rouge Française, the HEC Alumni Geostrategy Club and HEC Paris, through its Sustainability & Organizations Center, are pleased to invite you to a conference dedicated to geopolitical challenges, corporate practices, and international humanitarian law.
In a world where the lines between crises, conflicts, and the economy are being redrawn, business is no longer a peripheral player: it is at the heart of the balance. With this conference, we are creating a demanding and lucid space to address this role head-on.
How do you act, make decisions, and operate when standard reference points crumble?
What responsibilities must companies assume in these extreme contexts?
By bringing together operational, strategic, and legal perspectives, we aim to move beyond simple analysis to better understand the realities and choices businesses face:
Fostering dialogue between companies, experts, and humanitarian organizations, Connecting geopolitical issues, business practices, and international humanitarian law, And above all, providing concrete insights for those who will have to navigate these tense environments.
